Garmin Gdl 82 Built-in Gps Ads-b Kit Including Waas Antenna For Experimental Aircraft
Overview
The GDL 82 Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) datalink, is the latest addition to the comprehensive lineup of certified ADS-B solutions available from Garmin. GDL 82 is a small, lightweight Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) datalink with a built-in GPS receiver. For aircraft owners looking for an economical and turnkey solution to satisfy the requirements of ADS-B ?Out?, GDL 82 is a straightforward path to meet regulatory requirements. GDL 82 broadcasts on the 978 MHz frequency, providing a rule-compliant ADS-B ?Out? solution for aircraft operating below 18,000? in the United States. Installation is quick and easy because GDL 82 utilizes a patent-pending design, in which GDL 82 is installed in-line with the aircraft?s existing transponder antenna wiring to transmit the necessary ADS-B ?Out? information. The WAAS GPS receiver required for ADS-B compliance is built-in and a GPS antenna is included to offer additional cost-savings for aircraft owners without an existing WAAS GPS on board their aircraft. 82 also contains AutoSquawk interrogation technology, whichGDL interfaces with most Mode C general aviation transponders to synchronize the squawk code and pressure altitude information from the transponder with GDL 82, eliminating the need to install a separate dedicated UAT control panel and altitude encoder. (Please reference the installation manual to determine if the existing Mode C transponder meets compatibility requirements.) This technology not only simplifies installation but also eliminates the burden of the pilot manually keeping the squawk code in sync.Pilots who already utilize an ADS-B ?In? receiver ? such as the GDL 52, GDL 39/GDL 39 3D and the Stratus line of portable solutions ? can receive additional benefits as the GDL 82 complements many existing products on the market. With ADS-B ?Out? participation, pilots using these products have access to a more comprehensive ADS-B ?In? traffic picture, resulting in improved situational awareness. |
